I'm receiving the following error message when trying to add or update a list item.

"the server was unable to save the form at this time. please try again"

The list has some folders and I assigned special permissions on each folder.

When I'm logged in as Folder X User I can't edit list items inside this folder, even though my group has full control on this folder.

I can edit normally when I log in as administrator.

In case of you got “The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again.” for all users.

  • SharePoint Search Host Controller service may need to restart to free up some memory space.
  • Anonymous Authentication was disabled in IIS.
  • “minFreeMemoryPercentageToActivateService” attribute is not set to serviceHostingEnvironment Tag in Web.Config.
  • The farm wasn’t updated with at least March 2013 PU / Service Pack 1.

In case of you got “The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again.” for a specific user. - If your list has unique permissions and a user/group has permissions only on that list and has limited or no access at the site level, then you run into this error.

OK the fix is that Folder X User need at least read permission on the site besides the fact you assign full control on the list folder
